The use of the suspension type chemicals and slurries will
significantly reduce the life of the plastic parts in the Flow
Meter and motorized Control Valve. Check the rotor and inlet hub
assembly in the Flow Meter frequently for worn parts. Excessive
wear can affect accuracy.
Do not attempt to modify or lengthen any of the three-wire Speed
Sensor or Flow Meter cables. Extension cables are available from
your Dealer.

METER CAL CONVERSIONS
To convert the METER CAL number simply divide the original number (number printed
on Flow Meter label) by the desired conversion factor.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Fluid Ounces
128
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Liters
3.785
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Pounds
Weight of one gallon
LIQUID CONVERSIONS
U.S. Gallons x 128 = Fluid Ounces
U.S. Gallons x 3.785 = Liters
U.S. Gallons x 0.83267 = Imperial Gallons
U.S. Gallons x 8.34 = Pounds (Water)
LENGTH
1 millimeter (mm) = 0.039 inch
1 centimeter (cm) = 0.393 inch
1 meter (m) = 3.281 feet
1 kilometer (km) = 0.621 mile
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters; 2.54 centimeters
1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
1 mile = 5280 feet
PRESSURE
1 psi = 6.89 kPa
1 kPa = 0.145 psi
AREA
1 square meter = 10.764 square feet
1 hectare (ha) = 2.471 acres; 10,000 square meters
1 acre = 0.405 hectare; 43,560 square feet
1 square mile = 640 acres; 258.9 hectares

INTRODUCTION
The Raven DCS 410 (De-Ice Control System) is designed to improve the uniformity and
accuracy of liquid anti-ice applications.
The DCS 410 consists of a microprocessor-based control console, speed sensor, liquid
flow meter, shut-off valves, and a control valve. The Console mounts directly in the
cab of the vehicle for easy operator use. The speed sensor is installed in one of several
locations based on the style of speed sensor used. The valves and flow meter mount in
the best location available for ease of installation and service. Appropriate cabling
is furnished for dealer/field installation.
The operator selects the desired application rate and the DCS 410 automatically
maintains the rate regardless of vehicle speed to ensure accurate application. The
operator can select one of the 10 pre-programmed application rates or a manual mode.
Material can also be applied at a higher application rate instantly by depressing the
Blast button. The DCS 410 also displays additional information such as air and road
surface temperature (must be equipped with sensor), distance traveled and material
volume totals, and vehicle speed.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION OF RAVEN RADAR
For mounting the Radar, the following guidelines will assure proper installation:
It is suggested that a large heavy mounting bracket, (P/N 107-0159-693) be
attached to the vehicle frame for mounting the Radar.
1) Park vehicle on level surface.
2) Select mounting site by considering the following:
a) The line of sight from the lens to the ground must not be obstructed by
structures or tires. Obstructions must not come closer than 20 inches to
the bottom of the Radar. See Figures 1 and 2.
b) The Radar lens must be parallel to the ground from front to back. Radar
can be tilted out 0-15 degrees to provide more clearance and miss
obstructions. See Figure 2. Figure 2.
c) The Radar should be mounted so that the length of the Radar is parallel
with direction of vehicle travel.
3) Use carpenters level to verify that mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.
4) Bolt mounting bracket to implement.
5) Bolt Radar to mounting bracket using mounting hardware. See Figure 3.
6) Connect Radar with Radar Interface Cable (P/N 115-0159-539), to the DCS 410
Console. The Red wire should be connected to 12 VDC. The White wire should be
connected to ground.
CAUTION: The connection of the Radar power in reverse polarity could result in
damage to the Radar.

2. MOUNTING FLOW METER AND CONTROL VALVE
1) Mount Flow Meter in the area of the liquid control per Figure 5. All flow through
Flow Meter must go to nozzles only, i.e., no return line to tank or pump after
Flow Meter.
2) Flow must be in direction of arrow on Flow Meter.
NOTE: This is two examples of application schematics.
It is essential, when using suspensions, that the system be thoroughly
rinsed out each day after use.

3. MOUNTING CONSOLE AND CABLING
NOTE: For instructions on mounting custom cabling, hydraulic valves, and
liquid control systems, consult your dealer.
l) Mount the Console to a secure support inside the cab of the vehicle without
hindering the visibility of the operator.
2) Connect the Console Control Cable to the plugs in the back of the Console.
(See Figure 7).
FIGURE 7
3) Turn POWER ON/OFF switch OFF and route the Red wire to the +12 volt fuse block
and White wire to the negative connection. (DO NOT CONNECT WIRES TO THE STARTER).
Secure the wires with plastic cable ties.
4) Connect the Speed Sensor Cable to the plug in the back of the Console.
5) Verify connector "A" has plug installed and "B" is connected to "C".
